To see the rest of the Dartmouth Pizza Quest, check out my posts on Downtown Dartmouth, Woodside/Eastern Passage, Cole Harbour and North End Dartmouth. Welcome to the last leg of the Dartmouth Pizza Quest! If you are scratching your head at my “East Dartmouth” designation, this is the area east of Lake Mic Mac and Lake Charles, with Main St. and […]
I was introduced to pho when I lived in Calgary and it was a life altering experience as I had no idea that noodle soups could be so delicious! (Prior encounters were strictly of the chicken noodle variety). There are literally pho restaurants all over Calgary. It’s hard to go any distance without finding one. Though pho was my first […]
I recently critiqued some of the donairs in Calgary, as I don’t believe Calgary to be a great donair city. But what Calgary lacks in donair culture they make up for with Vietnamese subs! I would argue that the banh mi is Calgary’s #1 street food – that it is more prevalent here than other cities in Canada and a […]
Did you know that Albertans eat more donairs than anywhere else in Canada? I know, right?! Edmonton, the donair capital of Western Canada, even considered making donair its official food, but it looks like they’ve conceded that it belongs to Halifax. The migration of the donair to Alberta is a mysterious phenomenon but there is a generally assumed connection to Maritime migrants […]
I lived in Calgary from 2009-2012, during which time there were only 4 microbreweries and brew pubs: Big Rock, Wild Rose, Brew Brothers (now defunct) and Brewsters (a Western Canadian chain of brew pubs). Alberta has been a little slow finding its way into the craft beer industry due to some laws that were unfavourable to small batch brewers. Minimum […]
*** Regretfully and unexpectedly, after I posted this blog Tess closed/switched ownership. Standby… *** Tess 5687 Charles St, Halifax This post is wayyyyyyyyy overdue! I’ve been so busy with Sausage Fest, BlogJam and a freelance gig that I haven’t had time for my own blog. This post goes back to a more summery time in early September when I had […]
Taste Halifax is the new food tour in town, operated by Susan Downey of Grape Escapes. I recently had the opportunity to tag along for a tour. I love a good food tour! I think that food/culinary tourism is a great way for people to experience a place and its culture. Most cities have some sort of food tour company […]

Click this pizza link to see everything Eat This Town has conquered thus far.

Sydelle’s Restaurant 733 Rocky Lake Dr, Bedford Rating: 6.5/10 My latest fish ‘n’ chips excursion brought me to uncharted territory somewhere between the Bedford Common and the Bedford Industrial Park. Sydelles Restaurant sits unassumingly on the corner of Duke St and Rocky Lake Drive (take Exit 4C off the 102). I forget how Sydelle’s found its way onto my fish […]
If you’re just tuning in, please check out the previous Nacho Quests. Yes, we have already done Spring Garden Road and the Economy Shoe Shop. Here is my report for the Barrington Street Nacho Quest – which also included a bit of Granville Mall. We originally planned on doing the waterfront but a torrential downpour made us opt instead for […]
